Gary Sanchez will work behind the plate while Kyle Garlick serves as the designated hitter.

Jeffers will sit Friday against the Royals, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Jeffers is the clear number one option behind the plate in Minnesota this season, starting 23 games compared to 15 for Gary Sanchez. When you factor in the pair's starts at the designated hitter spot, though, Sanchez now has the edge in total games in the lineup, getting the nod 28 times to Jeffers' 27 after his inclusion as Friday's starting catcher.

Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Jeffers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles. Jeffers started the past two days behind the dish, so he'll be getting some routine maintenance Wednesday while Gary Sanchez picks up a start at catcher. Thanks to the injuries to Miguel Sano (knee), Alex Kirilloff (wrist) and Kyle Garlick (calf), the Twins have been able to find more opportunities to keep Jeffers and Sanchez in the lineup simultaneously, with Sanchez often picking up starts as the designated hitter.
